The St. Regis Doha

Thank you, Regis Hotel! I am touched by the rigorous work, hard work and warm service of all the staff and sunny smile of the hotel! I look forward to meeting a stronger Doha!

The hotel is absolutely stunning, and the service is top-notch. The only downside is the shallow water and silt at the bottom of the sea, but that’s certainly not the hotel’s fault.

I am writing to express our deep dissatisfaction with the way we were treated during our recent stay at your property. What should have been a relaxing and premium experience turned into a frustrating example of poor communication, lack of accountability, and utter disregard for the guest. We had booked a room for the day, fully aware of the high cost, with the intention of enjoying your facilities — particularly the pool. Since we were leaving very early the next morning and would not be able to have the included breakfast, we made a very simple and reasonable request: to use the value of the breakfast for brunch on Friday, which we were already planning to enjoy on-site. The response? Total silence. We spoke to no fewer than five different staff members throughout the day — from the front desk to the concierge to the pool team — and every single one of them said they would “get back to us.” None of them did. Not one. It was very clear that nobody cared, and no one had any intention of actually resolving the request. We weren’t asking for a favour — we were simply asking for fair use of what we had already paid for. At check-out, we were told a manager was “on their way” to speak to us. We waited. No one came. We eventually had to leave for the airport, completely ignored. This is not just bad service — it is institutional indifference, wrapped in the illusion of luxury. It’s a customer experience that looks polished from the outside, but is hollow at its core. The room itself was fine, nothing to complain about but also nothing memorable. By Doha standards, we’ve experienced much better. The real disappointment, however, lies in how we were treated: with apathy, avoidance, and a complete lack of respect for our time or for the money we spent. To add insult to injury, we received two identical, pre-printed “welcome” notes in the room — impersonal, robotic, and meaningless. A superficial gesture that only confirmed how little real care or attention exists behind the scenes. As for the poolside staff — including a gentleman named Ahmed and a Greek woman — they, too, avoided our repeated and polite inquiries. By the end of the day, they wouldn’t even make eye contact. This speaks volumes. We also dined at OPA — another mistake. A loud, overpriced spectacle with none of the substance or quality you would expect at those price points. Have you been to Cipriani? That’s what real service and real quality look like. You might want to take notes. All in all, our stay at the St. Regis Doha was an unfortunate detour from our usual Doha standards — and a mistake we won’t be repeating. I hope this feedback prompts real reflection. Because what we experienced was not five-star hospitality. It wasn’t even close.

The Hospitality of the St Regis Hotel in Doha is second to none, from the reception to the room was so clean and the view from the room was marvelous, the food in the Chinese restaurant, the morning breakfast and the swift response of the staffs was very hospitable, also complementary transportation within the hotel with the carrier is mind blowing. Not forgetting the complementary water and towel by the beach side and also at the pool side was wow and cooling to the mind considering the weather. I would love to go back someday

Maravilhoso Hotel.
